Thank You

Thank you to all who expressed sympathy about Samson. Our neighbor found his body, and we buried him on the hillside above the house. He died from a freak accident, and you really do not want to know the details. Neither do we, but too bad, now we do.

I called the woman who owns the ranch where we got Perkins and Samson – excellent line of cats, good hunters and survivors. When the next litter of cats happens, if she can catch them (they are semi-feral), we will take an entire litter. No more singletons: litter mates teach one another rules of civility, when we are away they can keep each other company, and all our attention will not be focused on one bossy little prince.

Meanwhile, please do not show up with a box of kittens at my doorstep; I am weak and vulnerable and liable to say yes. Only Trail Guy’s sensibilities keep my Cat Disorder from flaring to maximum capacity. So thank you.

  1. Aw, Jana, so very sorry for the loss of your dear Samson.

  2. We are so sorry about Samson. He so reminded us of our cat Pete (for Pistol Pete) who died 5 years ago at 17. Take care and be sure to paste pics when you get new kitties. dawn P.S. I do miss my drawing classes but keeping busy reorganizing our kitchen, my craft room, etc. Dawn

  3. Well, at least you can have peace now. I kept a litter of 3 plus the momma once. Got everybody fixed. Jiggs, the mom, was with me till she was old enough to vote, but her 3 sons didn’t even make it to middle age…..After Jiggs got hit by a car, I made all my future cats inside cats. Binx, my only cat now, is now 8 years old and I hope to see her hit 18 someday. They are like family and just too hard to lose……Gina
